DOG AND CAT FOOD RATING SERVICES 

      YOU can knock yourself out researching the BEST PET FOOD brands to buy for your pets, or the most cost effective, but you don't have to -- because a bunch of Internet folks have already done it for you.  And we have Consolidated it Below.


Choosing the Best Dog Food
or Cat Food for Your Pet...  Bottom Line: use Whole Dog Journal's List and our other two Lists on the  Analysis Continuation.
 

Dog Food Poisoning (facts and help if you suspect Dog Food Poisoning of your Pet. Plus Historical information on the 2007 Recall of Major Dog Food Brands)

JUST A NOTE: Veterinarians agree that pets are living longer, healthier lives since the use of commercially prepared pet foods became widespread. Decades of research have gone into the development of pet food to make sure the special nutrition needs of pet dogs and cats are met. Source: Pet Food Report.     

 6 Main Resources - Results at Right  and on the Analysis Continuation Page  

Whole Dog Journal - (not free, click the link to learn access) Best Overall Resource: each year gives a list of good dog food brands. Detailed, thorough. Lists ingredients and gives website addresses for manufacturers. Just stick with it. Lists each food's ingredients.
Dog Food Analysis - (free- click the link, and then see: "CLICK HERE TO SEE THE REVIEWS"). Very Particular, Detailed, Finicky Resource: rates Premium Dog Foods from 6 stars to 2 stars. Lists each food's ingredients, with comments/judgment.
Good Dog Magazine - (not free, click the link to learn access) Timely Information Throughout the Year: reports on many subjects, including Dog Food.
Progressive Animal Welfare Society (as of 2010 this site no longer seems to rate pet food, when it did it was - Strict and Different).  Rated pet foods on a Scale of 1-10 (10 is high); 9-10  for food in the wild eaten by your pet in his wild state; 8 for food you cook/make for your pet. Commercial pet foods were all rated 7 and lower. On the analysis continuation page are Brands that at one time were rated at 6-7 and therefore, "acceptable."
Animal Protection Institute   (free, click the link) - Investigative Report/Fact Sheet. Solid report on the pet food industry.  Bottom line: caveat emptor!   Do your research before you buy.
Cat Food Reviews (free, click the link) Very informative, good resource for rating cat foods, timely information about cat food recalls, news on
various topics such as dry versus canned cat food.


Is Premium Dog/Cat Food Really Better? Yes !  And Cheaper to Feed in the long run. See the details here:   Good Dog Magazine and reinforced by Cat Food Reviews and Dog Food Analysis

Should you change your pet food brand periodically?  Yes, according to the Dog Food Analysis people.  WHY? 

There is no one brand that "has it all."
Variety. Prevents boredom, finicky feeders.
Avoid Allergies
How Often? Every 3 months.

BEAR IN MIND: Each breed is different, each pet is an individual. Many are finicky as to what they will eat, and react to, health-wise. You might have to "buy and try" from the brands recommended by the researchers, to find "The 1, 2 or 3" your pet will eat and react well to; but at least with this resource you have a starting and finishing point for truly great pet food. Whole Dog Journal seems to provide the best list of acceptable good dog food brands.  The most recent List we have is at Right and is continued on a following page.   

A brand we recommend -- Natures Logic -- is not on any of the lists.  It is a relatively new company and it is the first line of pet food in which all categories of products contain 100% food and excludes all chemically synthesized nutrients. All vitamins, minerals, and trace nutrients found in all Natures Logic products are derived 100% from food.

Red Barn Dog Treats

Whole Dog Journal  

This list is dated, it's from 2006 and 2007.  Still we find it even today (2010) a reasonably accurate guide.  Most of the major brands stay on the list each year, some do drop off, and some are added.  For example, Nature's Logic was at one time added, but it is not on the 2006 list. For the latest, you should visit Dog Food Analysis which updates its information regularly or subscribe to the Whole Dog Journal

The WDJ seems to provide the best overall, comprehensive list of acceptable good dog food brands. Its research is thorough, and it gives manufacturers' website addresses. The list is alphabetized so don't think the ones at the top are the best and the ones at the bottom the worst. ( Whole Dog Journal 's 2006 list is at the bottom, and continued with 2007 additions to the 2006 list here.

Natures Logic Dog and Cat Food, a brand we recommend, is not on any of the lists. It is a relatively new company. See at left for more information on Natures Logic  which excludes all all chemically synthesized nutrients from its food.     

This Is The 2006 list from the Whole Dog Journal.  Note, though the list does change each year, these brands usually continue on it, as others are added. The list is alphabetized so don't think the ones at the top are the best. These are highest quality foods.  If a manufacturer's line is listed, as a rule, from the magazines comments, it is implied that all the food lines/foods they have would make the approved list.  

This list is continued with additions from the 2007  Whole Dog Journal  list here;  and note, though the list does change each year, these brands usually continue on it, as others are added.
